SUMMER

Sweet summer leaning DER rustic fence,
With marigOlds beneath her freckied chin.
How fair thou art, plying Providence
Hath sent thee to this world OF toll and sin.
What though the sun that follows thy brown
feet,
Too lavish may be with its glowing heat.
What dawns thou bringest, bright with
scarlet fire.
To tempt US from our downy couch of
sleep,
And lure US on to pleasure where the brier
Doth gayly through the breathless .hicket,
creep,
And busy hornets hide within the bush.
And nimble snakes coil meath the blossoms
blush.
What throbbiug stars to peer through the
green trees,
What witching moons to Light the perfumed
caves,
Where cooling lovers sit in hlissful ease,
Amid the dim, moSquito-haunted leaves.
What restful nights made tuneful by the triIl
OF festive crickets in the grasses still
What peace of mind, what waterraelons cool,
What languid sails, what seas of sweet ice
cream,
What doctors bills, what fishing in pool
When all the fish have vanished like a
dream,
What sudden waves OF tender sentiment,
What strange forgetting all you ever meant
Vacation is the happy word that rings
Through thy best days so fairy like and
fair,
Oh, that's the time when to the old world
clings
An ampler ether, a divineEzf to.
A little space it is, while swecrrofrs wniri. -

EngIlsh and american Hands

Mrs. John Sherwood says that the
American hand is smaller than the Eng
lish hand, but the nails are not as hand
some. The English nails are almost
universally rosy and shell-like, and cut to
a rounded, slightly tapering point, kept
always scrupulously clean. The skin at
the base is pushed back to show the onyx,
a little white half-moon. This ONYX is
carefully cultivated and polished by the
Creoles of New Orleans, to show that
they have no black blood in their veins.
No matter how fair the complexion, the
valuable insignia of pure blood is want
ing to the octoroon if the onyx is clouded.
With persons who employ manicure the
ONYX develops every day more and more.
With those who are careless of this pre-
c;ous gem of beautiful hand, the onyx
is sometimes completely hidden"

A King Among Pineapples.

Mr.. Joseph Hahn, of Washington

the season; in fact it is a mass meeting
of seven pineapples. From the base of
one exceedingly big apple grow six little

onion patch. The whole conglomera-
ton measures three feet around the base,
is two feet long and weighs twenty-five

When the calf is about six weeks old,

half au inch, | have man to catch the
calf, holding the under jaw with one
hand, and with the other hand sie1c the
ear opposite the horn to be operated on,
and the calf's neck under his arm. Any
strong man can in this way hold yonng
calf as in a wise. For further efficiency,
however, a boy can hold the calf's hind
quarters to keep him from swaying to
and fro. Then with a sharp knife cut
close around the horn and through the
skin, run the point of the knife down un
der the horn and bring it out Of its shell
rs completely as an acorn can be taken
out of its shell. The formation of the
horn and its socket is very much like an
acorn and its shell, only the socket of
the horn is very shallow. Ii is mistalS

No Rnnn;nS Team.


The fire department has given up send
ing running team to the frcmen's tour
nament in Mitchell. 1t appears that the
project has been abandoned because of
the indifference displayed by some Of
those constit uting the team aud the ina
hilty to get a sufficient number of the
boys out for regular practice to accom-
plish anything. We are sorry to note
this-especially after our citizens raised
through the late fair--over 1900 for
the sole purpose Of assisting the depart
mcnt in its efforts to send team to
Mitchell Little things of this kind are
remembered by the public, as the boys
will learn later. Chidisilncss and mon
key work are not expected from body
of men like that which composes the
kmball fire department We think,
however, that the abandonment of the
project of sending a team to Mitchell
lies more in poor management than in
the fault of any individuals Berore cv :
CIR attempting anything Of the kind it
| should have been first ascer,aincd whcth-
er there was material enough to be had
to make up a FIRST class ;eam. This be-
ing learned to II dad certainty then the
matter should have been placed in charge
OF some one competent TO coach the
team. one who had the confidence of the
7 boys and one who would enforce the
most rigid discipline and whose orders
| were law. IL is the merest folly to
| think that good team can be made up
if the wishes of each individual member
Is to be consulted. The department will
